Directions to Hawaiian Adventures Kona

Meet at the boat!

All of our tours depart out of Honokohau Harbor; centrally located between downtown Kona and the airport. Please meet at the white Hawaiian Adventures Kona sign located on the south-central side of the harbor. 

Boarding begins 15 minutes prior to departure. We recommend arriving to the harbor 30 minutes before your tour to find paking. Please calculate your drive time based on arriving a half hour prior to your tour as we push off the dock at our scheduled departure time.

Free, Convenient Parking

Parking on the south-central side of Honokohau Harbor is free! Please park in the gravel spaces on the right side of Keakakehe Parkway. Parking is located west of the red-roof restroom and just steps away from the white Hawaiian Adventures Kona boarding sign. 

Boarding Location

Check in and boarding happens directly at the boat! As you enter Honokohau Harbor, continue straight on Kealakeke Parkway. Do not turn right at the split –– continue straight past the dumpster area and red-roofed restroom. Take the second entrance after the red-roofed restroom into the parking area (right-hand side). Park and head down the road to the white Hawaiian Adventures Kona sign located here: BOARDING LOCATION
